Celebrate Father's Day With Thomas Beach Vacations in North Myrtle Beach

Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and honoring fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in their children's lives. Father's Day is celebrated on June 15 in 2014, the third Sunday of June. There are more than 70 million fathers in the United States today, while 24.7 million fathers were part of married-couple families with children younger than 18 in 2013.

On July 19, 1910, the governor of the U.S. state of Washington proclaimed the nation’s first "Father’s Day." However, it took 58 years for the day to became a nationwide holiday, being officially recognized in 1972 by president Nixon. Its origins may lie in a memorial service held for a large group of men, many of them fathers, who were killed in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia in 1907.
